this is my review of the 2017 Honda CB 300s if you didn’t know already I rode this bike in my course my m2 course and I liked it so much I bought it a little disclaimer is that this is my first bike branding thing for me and so I put about 450 kilometers into the engine my riding experience before I did this review so I’m about six feet tall and 185 pounds and the 286 or 85 cc engine at 30 horsepower has no problem lugging my little frame around it is a bit slow on the starts but once you get it up to speed motorcycle fairings it moves along just fine now this is labeled as a beginners bike for most people and I agree with it but it’s also a great bike for those people who are older maybe more mature and don’t really care about going that fast off the line the fit and finish of Honda has always been great even these little plastic parts that look like carbon fiber you know they just look great and fit the motorcycle well as well of these little small plastic fairings the hive is yellow that’s subjective but I really like
it as a beginner for visibility let’s move on to the bits and pieces we’ll start with the dash dash is great it has all the basic bits on it and great visibility especially at night the one downside I would say is there’s no gear indicator which would come in handy especially for a beginner and now all the most important parts which are the controls there’s the kill switch and the starter button throttle is responsive and most importantly smooth and of course we have the front brake lever and then the rear brake on the left side we have a lot more obviously the clutch the clutch pull is pretty light overall I can do it with one finger two fingers the friction zone is closer to the end the high-low beams the horn and of course the turn signals easily operated with my glove I should say there is no storage now there’s very little underneath the pillion seat this is how you open it there duct it does come with a helmet security thing there which works fairly well I do put others little things in like a tripod the owners manual does have a great tool set it’s quite handy it has all the allen keys socket wrench like it has quite a few things in there that are actually useful with a leverage bar as well in order to get the seat back in you just need to clip it under those hooks there and then press it down the gas cap or fuel cap is pretty simple you stick the key in there turn it pops off and 2008 zx6r fairings the key actually will stay in the gas cap just make sure when you fill it up you do it really really slowly as to not overfill by accident put it back in you just push it down until you hear the click the key will turn automatically you pull out I just want to add some pictures in there because you know as I was doing my search for the CV 300 F I just wanted some pictures of certain areas and I just want to add those in so that you can pop it if you want to zoom in or take a closer look at a few things but yeah so here’s just my montage of like bark and everybody’s favorite the exhaust [Applause] [Applause] now not a really wide person in the shoulders so you know I had to put these mirror extenders on because I could not see anything past unless I shifted my body around or my head around significantly so these have been a lifesaver literally so Honda please fix this just make my little wider so the right I find is overall a bit on the stiff side I find that I’m going over those bumps and having to cushion it with my legs a bit more but overall I find that it’s accessible you know with corners really well I’ve been practicing a lot of twisties in the parking lot just to get used to the tires and suspension and throttle and controlling things there I would recommend this because number one it’s tons of fun but it allows you to just sort of feel the limits of the motorcycle in a safer environment lower speed and get ninja 250r fairings you think used to making sure you’re looking through the turns and about leaning and shifting around on the light I also recommend I just do some practice in between the parking lines and just my slow speed turns and parking lot maneuvers big question always is can you take this on the highway how is it on the highway and it’ll speak for itself absolutely you can take this on the highway
it has six years fixed-gear will take you up to about 120 km/h at about seven thousand seven thousand five hundred rpm a little bit buzzy of course at that level it is a naked bike so there’s quite a bit of wind on your chest and moment but it is pretty comfortable to hold at the speed and very very stable in the end I think the feed that I prefer to go light is about 110 km/h the RPMs are closer to about 6000 so a lot less buzzy and the wind blast is a little bit less as well so I found that just more of a comfortable cruising speed for myself so what I buy this again absolutely at you know there’s about four reasons why number one if it is slower and that’s actually a positive and that you can’t get yourself into a huge amount of trouble especially off the line number two the handling I found handling is really really good if light responses and braking well number one because I did get the model that has the ABS in Canada you can only get the ABS model so that adds a little bit of extra safety in there are a lot more an extra safety in there for me as a beginning writer and lastly but not least is the price for the price of a brand-new bike I’ve got a really good deal on this and you know it’s a good place to start for me sorry and I forgot online course that I took I was able to practice emergency braking and man this can really stop and here’s a little bit from a group ride with the couple guys are a few guys that I met from my m-2 course Jimmy Chris and Tyler Tyler’s the dude on the WRX he’s so slow so some cons are downsized right now and number one r6 fairings it is slow so it’s a positive and a negative is slower it does have a hard time a little bit less torque to keep up number two it’s naked so there is a quite a bit of a wind blast on your chest and helmet and number three storage well that’s a minimal concern other than that very solid bike it’s a great Buy and I’m extremely happy with it well thanks for watching and I hope this helped you if you’re looking for this bike or just want to make some comparison of this bike like I said it’s a great one and so having the erotic anyway there’ll be more to come regarding the motorcycle and I hope you enjoy
